Why the safety manual is important

Naprapaths are an integral part of Swedish healthcare, performing around 2 million treatments every year. To ensure safe and professional care, clear guidelines, high clinical competence, and systematic work regarding patient safety are required.

The new safety manual provides:

• Clear guidelines for safe treatment
• Support for clinical decision-making and risk assessment
• Guidance on legislation, medical record keeping, and patient responsibility
• Tools for evidence-based and person-centered practice

A focus on patient safety and clinical quality

The manual emphasizes the importance of:

• identifying risk factors and so-called "red flags" early on
• conducting thorough patient histories and examinations
• working according to science and proven experience
• involving the patient through informed consent

Through a structured approach, naprapaths can ensure that the right patient receives the right treatment – at the right time.

A tool for both students and professionals

The safety manual is a key component of the education at the School of Naprapathy and also serves as support in daily clinical practice. It helps create a common standard for quality and safety within the naprapathic profession.
